My Internet is so slow right now that this picture took like 20 seconds to finally appear
The chortle when I finally saw it was absolutely worth it
Excuse be but are you from the past?
We're all from the past.
Yeah but only about 20 seconds
Latency in my life is CRAZY
Real talk: are you in dialup or something like satellite with really bad rates? Backwoods? Fire watch tower?
I live up on a mountain but I get 4G and 5G service, so my Internet is one of those 5G boxes. It's usually pretty fast, but recently it's been chugging along (luckily only for a handful of minutes at a time before going back to normal for a while)
That image made me relapse.
I'm very far from a Musk fan and hate the massive leap towards Kessler Syndrome that Starlink satellites have wrought but... I think you should get Starlink.
It's alright now, thanks for the suggestion though! The provider was just having awful outages
I actually had starlink a while back, the latency was worse than my 5G/4G box so I didn't stick with it
A true lesser of two evils scenario, then. I'm sorry those are your options.
